Clean Clothes Change Lives

Living on the streets means going without the basics most of us take for granted, such as clean clothes.

The Mission’s new Laundry Ministry provides dignity and respect for un-sheltered guests by offering a place to have their laundry done.

Twice a week, the first five guests to sign up will have a small bin of laundry washed and folded by volunteers. This means up to 40 guests each month will have clean clothes and the self-respect that goes along with them. For some, it can be the first step toward a job and a better future.

We Want to Hear From You

On Wednesday, March 27, people all over Lexington will share their opinions as part of “On the Table,” an initiative sponsored by the Blue Grass Community Foundation. The Lexington Rescue Mission will host four brainstorming sessions on March 27, and we would love for you to join us for the topic that is of most interest to you.
